Privacy policy
Protecting your data is important to us. This website does not set cookies, does not use any analytics or tracking services and does not embed any third-party content. Below we explain which data is nevertheless processed. The German version is legally binding: Datenschutz.

Managing director: Tillmann Höfer
In brief
- no cookies
- no Google Analytics, no tracking, no advertising pixels
- no embedded third-party content; fonts and scripts are hosted on our own server

2. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4–6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with Mittwald.
Each time a page is accessed, your browser automatically transmits data to the server, which is stored in so-called log files:
- IP address
- date and time of access
- page or file accessed
- website from which you came to us (referrer)
- browser and operating system used
This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability, for example to fend off attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We do not combine this data with other data sources and draw no conclusions about you as a person. The log files are deleted automatically as soon as they are no longer required for these purposes.
3. Encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.
4. Contact by email or phone
If you contact us by email or phone, we process the information you provide – such as your name, company, contact details and request – in order to handle your enquiry and prepare a quote. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry is aimed at a contract, and otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Your data will not be used for advertising purposes and will not be passed on to third parties unless this is necessary to carry out the assignment, for example to the interpreters engaged. We delete the data as soon as it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention obligations, for example under commercial and tax law, prevent this.
5. Links to social networks
Our website contains links to our profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. These are simple links, not embedded plugins. Data is only transmitted to the respective provider when you click a link and visit their website. The privacy policy of the respective provider applies there.
6. Applications
If you apply to us, for example as an interpreter, we process your information in order to carry out the application process (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). If no collaboration results, we delete your documents two months after the rejection, unless legitimate interests prevent this, such as an obligation to provide evidence under the German General Equal Treatment Act.
7. Your rights
You have the right at any time to:
- information about your data stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR)
- rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
- restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR)
- withdraw consent with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR)
Simply contact us using the details above.
